Coach Tysor "Ty" Anderson shares his journey from growing up in a basketball family to becoming a successful college basketball coach in his own right.

Ty Anderson's grandfather was a legendary coach and a Naismith Hall of Famer [Charles "Lefty" Driesell] and his uncle is Chuck Driesell. Coach Anderson has blazed his own trail after being a PWO and Student Assistant at Georgia Tech, he's probably the only NCAA Division I coach who served in the Peace Corps.

He got his first college coaching job at South Georgia State College before going to Cambodia with the Peace Corps. When he returned to the United States, he became a Graduate Assistant at North Georgia College in the Peach Belt Conference.

Coach Anderson became the Head Coach at South Gwinnett High School in 2016 and led them to a 32-22 record during his two seasons at the helm. After South Gwinnett he accepted the same role at Holy Spirit Prep in 2018. At Holy Spirit Prep he coached future 1st Overall Pick in the NBA Draft - and future NBA All Star [and Olympian] Anthony Edwards. The team finished the season with a 20-14 overall record, including a perfect 10-0 mark in the region.

Coach Ray Harper added Ty to his coaching staff at Jacksonville State as the Coordinator of Basketball Operations, and eventually was promoted to an Assistant Coach. The Gamecocks advanced to the NCAA Tournament in his final season on staff.

He went on to accept an Assistant Coach position at Wofford and is set to enter his third season on staff with the Terriers in 2024-25.
